Volcano Vaporizes London ‘Iron Man 2′ Premiere

Fallout from the Icelandic volcano forces Paramount and Marvel’s bash to leave London for Los Angeles

There’s a new villain in the Iron Man story: Eyjafjallajökull.

Even the world’s most famous flying suit was grounded Monday on account of the Icelandic volcano, as Paramount and Marvel decided to move the "Iron Man 2" world premiere from London to Los Angeles.

Despite the giant cloud of volcanic ash still hovering over most of Europe, some flights were finally getting through as the week began. But the uncertainty surrounding the travel restrictions proved too tricky for the star-studded world premiere to take place next Monday in London.
